Dear Timur Tabi,

Update the "monitor" environment variable (for Freescale chips that have a DIU display controller) to designate the full video configuration, instead of just the output monitor.
The old definition of the "monitor" environment variable only determines which video port to use for output. This variable is set to a number (0, 1, or sometimes 2) to specify a DVI, LVDS, or Dual-LVDS port. The resolution is hard-coded into board-specific code. The Linux command-line arguments need to be hard-coded to the proper video definition string.
Instead, the "monitor" variable is now set to a string that indicates not only the part name, but also the resolution, color depth, and refresh rate. This string is then parsed for all needed information, and can be passed to the kernel via the 'diubootargs' environment variable.
Looks as if this was a Freescale specific implementation?
Can this not be turned into generic code, usable for other boards / systems as well?
Please see the discussion we had about video modes for the i.MX systems.
I want to see handled most of this with generic code, not with processor / architecture specific one.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
